Reject an automation request from Automation Center if it's a
duplicate of an existing automation or if it doesn't meet the required criteria.

## Before you begin

Create an automation request. For more information, see [Creating an automation request](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/c2hQvmA7QnEs6c2elkq0Sg "An automation request helps you to automatically streamline your business processes, reduce the time that you spend on manual activities, and reduce your costs.").

After you reject an automation request, the life cycle of the automation request
ends.
